I saw these 2 pics, and I knew I had to recreate the white and denim look.
Denim and White together is a CLASSIC combination.
both images pinned,but sources unable to be found
I really like how both outfits were styled.
Outfit on the left:
brown belt, SERIOUSLY short shorts (too short for me), brown bag, and gold bangles
I liked it, but the outfit on the right was definitely my fav.
I never would have thought to pair the white necklace with a black bag and the nude patent flats, but I absolutely LOVED it. I think it looks so modern and chic!
The nude flats totally caught my eye because of the nude flats that I featured on Friday.
When I highlighted the nude flats (because of a "Dear Sheaffer" question), I honestly didn't really think about the fact that maybe I needed a pair.
And then I saw the above picture over the weekend.
And now it's Monday, and now I think I need some.
Here are the pairs that I highlighted on Friday:
The popular Sam Edelman Felicia flat is HERE.
There are 92 reviews of the Felicia, and 69 of them are 5 stars!
This pair HERE has good reviews too.
Oh these are the most comfortable, soft and
simply great flats I've ever had! I took a chance based on the reviews
and am sooo happy I did! Love them!
Wear them every day for long walks
and running errands!
Another option HERE (and this one is on sale)!
And then, a reader left a blog post comment on Friday suggesting THESE.
And I really liked the look of them A LOT.
I think they look VERY similar to the pair in the inspiration pic.
Thanks for the tip Kris! :)
The color is pretty , and I really love that they are patent.
I met Shay at the mall Sunday afternoon
(more to come on that later...get excited...#shoppingwithsheafferandshay),
and I found them to try them on.
SO cute and SO comfy!

Okay, so this is how I interpreted the look:
As you can see, I wore my TOMS with my outfit (HERE) and they were fine (love my Toms)....
but I think the outfit would have looked so much better with THESE.
Denim Shirt| J Crew Factory, exact shirt HERE
I bought this shirt last season. It's kind of expensive, but I wear it constantly and it is a great fit. Worth the money in my opinion.
OH WAIT!!! Got an e-mail from The Factory at 10:40, and they are having a FLASH SALE!
Everything is 40% off thru midnight tonight (Monday).
Enter code: HURRY
White necklace| Stella and Dot, HERE
Silver earrings| Stella and Dot, HERE
(Remember, if you want to place a Stella and Dot order, I have a trunk show open now with my friend Jenny. Just search "Sheaffer Sims" as your hostess.
Also, remember the Dot Dollars promotion going on right now!)
White Cut-Offs| GAP, sold out
Click HERE for a white short that is kind of a boyfriend short.
Click HERE for shorts that are "natural"....but I think I might just be in love.
Love the frayed bottom. (I tried them on in the store and they are VERY similar to my white ones from GAP. Very flattering and the fabric has some stretch in it.)
White jean shorts with a cuff HERE that are a little bit longer.
A great pair from J Crew Factory that are on sale HERE.
Don't want a white short, but you want a white jean?
Here's the same look with a white jean:
again pinned, but original source not found
GAP white sexy boot cut jeans HERE.
GAP white 1969 white skimmer jeans HERE.
A great choice for a white necklace from ModCloth HERE.
(It's really more crystal than white, but I think it would still work great with white and denim!)
Also, some FANTASTIC black bag options here. They are faux leather, but Shay and I thought they looked great in person. Click HERE. Don't some of them look like the inspiration pic?
Several of the links above are to LOFT and GAP today.

I REALLY like the white and denim together, so I tried to think of some other ways to style it.
For instance, and this is just off the top of my head.....
Maybe I'll wear it belted at the waist with a pink belt with silver
hearts, white pleated shorts that hit just above the knee, and laceless
white keds with some white and blue plaid socks scrunched down around my
ankles.
Oh wait.........
that's been done......
Yep, I've been rocking denim (I believe back then we referred to it exclusively as "chambray")
since around 1986.
I think the pic above was the first day of 6th grade.
And NOTHING says I own 6th grade like white pleated knee length shorts.
Right?
If you think you want to try and rock the denim and white too,
here is some more style inspiration for you!
And I know this is crazy, but I have another giveaway!
